Long-term use of Betnovate S on the face can lead to skin thinning and steroid dependence. It is important not to stop suddenly, as it may cause a flare-up. Consult a dermatologist who can gradually taper the cream and start safer alternatives for recovery. Proper skincare and use of non-steroid medicines will help improve your skin over time.

  3. Skin Care Alternatives

    • Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Consider products with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to support skin barrier recovery.
